FAA test sites A miniature IMU Weight: 0,12 lbs (55g) Volume: 2,0 cu. in. (35cm 3 ) sales@sensonor.com • www.sensonor.com When size, performance and robustness matter Available now – contact us to discuss your application Certain missions demand unsurpassed precision, stability and reliability. Having perfect control and fully understanding the smallest detail is what it takes to be a world leader. With this in mind, we developed the Inertial Measurement Unit STIM300, a small, utra-high performance, non-GPS aided IMU: • ITAR free • Small size, low weight and low cost • Insensitive to magnetic fi elds • Low gyro bias instability (0.5°/h) • Low gyro noise (0.15°/√h) • Excellent accelerometer bias instability (0.05mg) • 3 inclinometers for accurate leveling STIM300 is the smallest and highest performing, commercially available IMU in its category, worldwide! … TO BE EVEN BETTER!

There are property tax breaks for new or expanding facilities and the potential for a multi-year income tax holiday. Alaska offers small business loans of up to $300,000. It is also working on expanding its incentive program in ways of interest to the UAS industry, said Ro Bailey, director of the Pan-Pacifi c UAS Test Range Complex. Hawaii has energized its assistance for high-tech fi rms and now offers the Blue Startups tech incubator–a network of angel investors– and the MBloom tech incubator and early-stage investment fund. The state also assists companies with overseas sales through its Foreign Trade Zone.

Research- ers in the Aloha State are using UASs to assess invasive species in its tropical forests and detect crops infested with the Banana Bunchy Top Virus. The Oregon State University team is working with industry and government to develop UAS applications for tasks ranging from environmental monitoring and fire manage- ment to crop protection and law enforcement.
